After al long long long thinking process and weighing the pros and cons I've decided to weight on getting the surgery, I'm going to do the shakes for as long as I can if it takes a year it takes a year. I'm going to try that and see if I can do it on my own. I hope I can do it. I hope I'm making the right decision. I'm just not able to get over the chewing, the small bites, the Vitamin problems etc. I hope I'm making the right choice.

You can also get a nutritionist dietician join the gym & if it works out for you wonderful. I hope it works out for you. You can still stay in the group & we can motivate you here. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.

In the beginning of my WLS I wasn't enjoying it. I was not into Protein shake after WLS but Jello ice & sipping Water was bummer. Time goes by and you get better & begin to know your body. The WLS is only a tool you have to make it work for you if not you will regain & be fat again. This is no way the easy way out. I made it work for me & I'm a success & all I need is some plastic surgery to make my self feel great. I careless what others think or my hubby. Yeah I'm a size 1 and I'm a small but I'm also a mother of 3 kids & I'm not willing to live with wrinkle & saggy body so plastic surgery is in the near future. This by no means -means everyone that has WLS needs plastic surgery. Some ppl can live perfect with out it but I can't. So not having WLS has its advantage you won't sag & have a wrinkle ass lmbo. I would love to hear your success story I know you can do it.

I totally respect your decision, it's yours to make. This is major surgery and was not my first choice. I didn't want my organs altered. That's how GOD made me! I tried the lapband first and had tons of problems with it. Two years later I wanted the lap band out and got the revision to the RNY. I had to be okay with it in my time. It was a lot of pain and adjustments for me at first, BUT now I am so happy! That's my story, it doesn't mean u have to do this too to reach happiness... I wish u the best! ;)

If you have any qualms about surgery, you're making the right decision. People can and lose significant weight without it. I tried every diet under the sun before deciding on wls....it is a tool of last resort and should not be taken lightly. Good luck on your plan!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
